GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS.
Ptsxivx-VANiA Legislature.
Yesterday afternoon the Governor
met the two ■ louses in the Chamber of
the House of Representatives, and deli
vered the following
Gentlemen of the Senate, and
Gentlemen fibe House of Representatives.
THE Legifixture having omitted to
prescribe thjfe manner, in which the elec
tors of a President and Vice-President
of the United States, ihall be appointed,
I have thought it incumbent on me, to
/urnifti the present opportunity, for dis
charging a trust, so interesting to the
honor of the State, and so essential to j
the prosperity of the Union. To pre- !
fervp, indeed, the political balance of;
onr confedertaion, to promote the regu
lar operations of Government, to dif- j
fufe the blessings of concord, and to en
sure the confidence of the people, are
considerations intimately connected with
the objeft, for which you have been
convened ; and having thus prompted
an extraordinary interposition of the
Executive power, they will, also, I am
persuaded, command, on your part, a
serious and salutary attention.
It is to be regreted, Gentlemen, that
the difference of opinion, which occur
ed on this fu'jjedt, between the two
branches of the la ft General Assembly,
has-deprived our Constituents of an im
mediate participation in the choice of
Electors, either by an election of the ci
tizens .at large, or by an eledtion of the
citizens in diftrifts. Since, however,
the criiis affords no other alternative,
than a Legislative appointment, or a de
rili&ion of the right of election, we can
not, I think, refleft upon the danger
ous and difgraceful consequences of the
latter course, without resolving to pur
sue the former. On the fidelity and vi
gilance of its several members, the Union ,
depends for its energy and duration ; :
. and, it is that a ncgledt, or
omiflion, of the important duties, affign
ej to the individual States, must, even
tually, prove as deftru&ive to our Fe
deral Compaft, as an opposition the mod
a&ive, or a feceff{on the most daring :
For, a free and enlightened People will
not long continue to maintain or to re
fpeft an inflitution, in which (from
■whatever cause) they have ceased to be
represented.
Nor can we resist the influence of
those occurrences which admonilh us,
at this momentous period of human
affairs, to rally round the Constitution
of our Country, as the palladium of ci
vil Liberty, and the last hope of Re-;
publican Virtue. To rescue Pennfylva- !
nia, therefore, from the stigma of ex- '
hibiting to her Sifter States, a fatal ex
ample of Clifford and disorganization, is
a motive, that cannot fail to supersede
in every patriotic mind, the pride of J
opinion, as to the theory of our Go
vernment, or the bias of predilefliop,
as to the various means of supplying its
departments. For my own part, I ac
knowledge, that I have ever contempla
ted a general choice by the People, as
the truest, faireft, fafeft, expolition of
the Constitution ; but a deference for
the judgment and practice of others,
taught me to refpeft a departure from
that rule elsewhere, before the neceifity
had arisen, which imposes a departure
from it here. . In eight States of the
Union, Electors are appointed by a
Vote of the two branches of their respec
tive Legislatures; and appointments so
made, have been uniformly recognized,
by Congrels. It is a great consolation,
therefore, that on the preftnt occasion,
we have these authoritative precedents
to pursue ; since, permit me to repeat,
it is only left to your discretion to decide,
whether Pennsylvania shall abandon her
elective rights, ©r exercise them in a
manner, which has already been adopt
ed by one half of the Confederation.
Though I have thus explicitly com
municated my sentiments, and exonera
ted myfelf from all official responsibility,
I still deeply partake of the general soli
citude, for the issue of your deliberations.
The fnuation of cur Country is critical:
( . i'
but riot alarming. In her external re
lations, the proipe£f of reconciliation and
peace appears, by recent intelligence, to
be realized ; and nothing seems wanting
to ha- domestic happiness, but a recollec
tion of the common interest, by which
all her Citizens must be equally anima
ted, in their efforts' to promote it. It
has perhaps then, fallen to the lot of
Pcnnfylvania, not merely to determine
an important election, but toextingurfH,
by a magnanimous example, those feuds
and jealousies, which have disturbed the
i order of Society, and threatened to eclifpc
the glory of the Revolution. Under
this impre'flion, we fee, without surprize,
the attention of the Union fixed upon
the proceedings of the present day;
while, from every quarter of the State,
the wishes and prayers of our Fellow-ci- j
tiijens, emphatically appeal to the patri
otifin and fidelity of those, in wh<jtn
they have reposed their confidence, and
J to whom they have delegated their pow
j er. Such just and honorable expecra-
I tions will rtot be disappointed ! No :
! —Superior to the suggestions of party,
disdaining a contest about forms, and
yielding to the precedents that have been
eitabliilied, your decision cannot fail to
merit .the approbation of our Constitu
ents, the applaufeof our Sifter States and
the gratitude of posterity.
[ I shall refei've, Gentlemen, the com
munications on the general state of the
Commonwealth for a future meflage : but
I cannot conclude at this time, without
alluring you of my most cordial co-ope
ration, in every measure for the public
good Let us, then, cultivate, by all
the means in our power, a liberal and
harmonious intercourse between the de
partments of the Government ;—con
vinced as we must be, that our private
happinels, not less than our public duty,
will be best promoted, under the influ
ence of mutual confidence, deference
and esteem.
